HIPAA Compliance Jobs

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), through its Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule, sets the federal standard for protecting health information in the United States. It applies to covered entities, health plans, providers, and clearinghouses, and to the business associates that handle protected health information (PHI) on their behalf. The Security Rule requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, and the HHS Office for Civil Rights enforces it with investigations and penalties.

In healthcare GRC, HIPAA is the baseline every program is built on, and it is increasingly entangled with AI, as health systems and digital-health companies deploy models on exactly the data HIPAA protects. Roles in this space want people who can run a HIPAA program, manage business-associate risk, and handle breaches, often alongside HITRUST certification.
